The Debian package has the problem that auto-save-file-name-transforms
contains that directory.  I think it's a generic Emacs problem that
just occurs during the build phase.

A workaround is to set auto-save-file-name-transforms to a correct
value.

Hm.  What happens if you C-x b new-buffer RET, then type some text,
then C-x C-w /smb:address@hidden:/some/file RET?  It would be interesting
to see the *tramp/foo* buffer as well as the *debug tramp/foo* buffer
if that goes wrong.

You might have to (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) to get the *debug
tramp/foo* buffer.
